Breast Reduction

Breast reduction surgery will require the patient to stay overnight at the clinic. This time will allow for proper recovery from the effects of the anesthesia and a massage session to reactivate the tissues in the area.

At Clínica Estética Málaga, we will provide you with a detailed quote after your first meeting with our surgeons. This will include some basic elements of our service, such as hospitalization, medical fees, anesthesia, follow-up appointments, and the various products used in your recovery.

It is important to note that these prices can vary considerably between different aesthetic clinics. One of the factors that influences the rates is the surgeon’s training and experience. In our case, Dr. Yagües is a true guarantee of safety and excellent results

At our plastic surgery center, we not only provide the highest quality service, but we also offer convenient prices and payment plans for all our patients. This way, we ensure that your experience with us is as rewarding as possible.

One of the most frequent questions in our consultations concerns payment methods and the type of coverage available to people in these situations. Social Security will cover the costs of this operation as long as it is performed for medical purposes and requested by healthcare professionals.

Regarding contracts with other insurance companies, you will need to consult with them individually. This is because each company has its own terms and conditions, making it difficult to determine whether plastic surgery is covered under their plans.

For breast reduction surgery, general anesthesia will be administered to the patient to avoid any discomfort. The first step will be to reposition the areola, especially in cases where it has an unnatural and unaesthetic structure.

Once this has been done, the excess breast tissue will be removed. This includes excess fat and skin from the area, thus defining a volume and shape that meets our patient’s expectations.

Achieving this will require our team of breast reduction specialists to make incisions at strategic points on the body. These will be applied with the utmost care, always with the aim of avoiding leaving marks on the skin’s surface.

The nature of breast reduction surgery allows patients to appreciate the results of the procedure almost immediately. However, seeing the final appearance of the breasts will take a little longer.

This is because during the first few months after the operation, internal adaptation processes will still be taking place. The readjustment of the tissues to the new structure and the swelling typical of surgery will make patience one of our best allies.

But don’t despair. In most cases, the results of breast reduction do not take more than three months, allowing our patients to quickly resume their normal lives with all the confidence that this change means for them.

Breast reduction surgery will require the patient to stay overnight at the clinic. This time will allow for proper recovery from the effects of the anesthesia and a massage session to reactivate the tissues in the area.

The postoperative period generally does not involve major inconveniences. During the first few days, you may feel some pain, as well as notice swelling in the breasts. These symptoms will be treated with the medication prescribed by the surgeon and will disappear within about 3 or 4 days.

After this period, you can return to work and resume most of your daily activities normally. It is important to avoid strenuous physical activity during the first month, as this could negatively affect the recovery process.

In principle, breast reduction is a long-lasting solution for our patients. In most cases, the new volume should remain intact for many years, as well as the position and shape achieved. This is one of the great benefits of breast reduction.

However, there are cases in which this may not be entirely effective. It is important to understand that, despite the reduction in the amount of tissue and fat present in the area, some of these elements may reappear

The skin can gain elasticity if there are abrupt weight gains, and something similar occurs with the concentration of fat in the area. We also have to take into account some key factors such as hormones, genetics, pregnancies, breastfeeding, and menopause, which can also affect the preservation of the results.

One of the biggest concerns our patients express before undergoing breast reduction surgery is related to scarring. Ultimately, this is a surgery aimed at improving aesthetics, so this concern is perfectly normal.

First: Breast reduction does leave a scar. However, all our patients assure us that, given the results, this mark is totally worth it and does not diminish the satisfaction rate in any way.

All incisions made by the surgeon during the procedure are meticulously planned and placed at strategic points. Furthermore, our medical staff will provide you with all the necessary recommendations to minimize the impact of the scars.

Keeping the scars out of the sun, carefully cleaning the wound area, and using products approved by the surgical team can make a big difference in how these marks heal.

Breast reduction is not a high-risk operation. However, as with any surgical procedure, it has some side effects that could reduce patient comfort.

The most important thing to avoid these situations is to entrust yourself to an experienced surgeon with the necessary credentials to perform this type of operation

At Clínica Doctora Yagües, we are fortunate to have Dr. Yagües, who is currently recognized as a true luminary in plastic surgery.

The risks that may arise in breast reduction are: problems with wound healing, infections, bruising, pain, swelling in the area, and a feeling of numbness.

Breast reduction can be achieved naturally, but only in certain cases. Women who are overweight, for example, should reduce the volume of their breasts by losing a few pounds.

However, it is important to note that in these cases, it will not be possible to change the shape of the breasts, much less gain those centimeters of lift so desired by our patients. If the lost weight is regained, the volume of the breasts will also return

Outside of this specific situation, there is no alternative way to achieve breast reduction. Ultimately, in most cases, it is due to a genetic condition, so it can only be achieved through surgery.
